Hodges, who will play one of the outside spots, was picked in the fourth round out of Penn State. Mauti, whose position is in the middle, was a seventh-round selection, also from Penn State. Dawkins was taken in the seventh round out of Florida State. They’ll all get rookie-standard four-year contracts, slotted by draft position.

Last season, the Vikings signed eight of their 10 draft picks by June 1.
